Kellogg’s CEO “Optimistic” about Upcoming Cereal Spinoff
WK Kellogg Co is experiencing success in growing its market share in the breakfast category, almost a year after becoming a standalone cereal business. CEO Gary Pilnick has reported that nine of the company’s eleven biggest brands are outpacing the overall cereal category growth. With a workforce now focused solely on cereal production, WK Kellogg Co has streamlined its supply chain and is investing in new technology to meet demand for its products.
Pilnick has outlined the company’s plans for future growth, including a focus on e-commerce and new packaging formats. Despite a recent decline in sales, WK Kellogg Co remains optimistic about its innovation pipeline, with upcoming cereal products set to showcase the company’s capabilities as a standalone business. One recent launch, a better-for-you cereal brand called Eat Your Mouth Off, is targeted at Gen Z consumers and features zero sugar.
However, the positive outlook comes after a disappointing earnings report, which saw a decrease in sales and plans to close a plant in Omaha and reduce production in Memphis, resulting in job cuts. WK Kellogg Co is shifting production to other cereal facilities as it continues to navigate challenges in the market.
